'Terrasse' eyeing B'way
Abrahams leading the way
Doris Cole Abrahams, a literary and theater agent turned theatrical producer, first produced "Blue Holiday" for Broadway back in May 1945, at the Belasco. Now, after a long absence and a host of West End shows produced in the '60s and '70s, she is understood to be back and planning to move the French comedy by Jean-Claude Carriere to a Broadway house.
Currently at the MTC's Stage II Theater, it is most likely to move to a house in the Shubert Org chain, according to insiders familiar with the deal, -- and quite possibly, to the Belasco.
Helmed by Mike Ockrent, ("Crazy for You") and translated by Mark O'Donnell, the Parisian farce is at once a philosophical beard-stroker centering on social disintegration and at the same time a dissection of a failed romance.
It's not yet clear whether "La Terrasse" will bow in late summer or later this fall.
Ockrent declined to comment, other than to say that he was "very, very happy" about the move, and referred calls to Abrahams.
Abrahams, telephoned at her Manhattan residence, was unreachable for comment at deadline.
